Notes

All-in-one washer/dryer combos save space but tend to be more complex than separate units. Repairs often involve water-handling parts (pump, seals) or heating and controls.

Repair is usually sensible early in ownership when the issue is a single replaceable component. Replace becomes more attractive when multiple functions degrade (poor washing plus poor drying), when the unit is near end-of-life, or when repeated electronic faults appear.
